Birthday and Christmas Tags



Teresa asked if she could buy some birthday tags with the words "Feliz Cumpleanos" and Celebrar" on them. She serves with 6-7 couples in the Monterrey Mexico Temple and wants to attach them to gifts. I'm thrilled she'd ask me to do this. So this past week I painted new birthday tags, added Spanish words, printed them at Alphagraphics, punched them out and stamped the backs. While at it, she also wanted some Christmas tags. I got them printed and hand wrote on them "Feliz Navidad". I got them all mailed on Friday, June 9th! It's always fun to do a new art project!!

PS: Ralph was called to be the President of the Monterrey Mexico Temple with Teresa as the matron, in 2016. I believe they began their 3 year church assignment in November 2016. Ralph served as a mission President and Teresa as the "mission mom" in Puebla, Mexico for 3 years before this new assignment. Ralph knew Spanish from his younger years as a missionary, but Teresa has had to work hard at learning the language. I'm proud of her efforts. She has truly tried to immerse herself not only in the work, but the language as well!! Although I took Spanish in High School, I can hardly repeat a sentence. So with Teresa's help, I got the correct words on the right tags 🌝 I hope she likes these!

Here's a sampling of my finished tags:







I stumbled upon this great video last night. It's very good and very informative!
